Bill > SCR66

This Concurrent Resolution urges state boards in Hawaii to make remote participation in their meetings a permanent feature by providing interactive conferencing technology, which proved beneficial during the pandemic, especially for individuals with disabilities and those in rural areas. It also encourages these boards to provide "board packets"—documents prepared for board members before a meeting—to interested individuals at least twenty-four hours in advance of the meeting, a practice that aims to foster more informed and meaningful public engagement in government decisions.
